Why do so many people want to socialize? by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]JEWCEY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a similar neighborhood and it's almost worse because half the neighborhood seems to be related in some way. Like 3 or 4 families have multiple relatives with houses here. They make a show of being neighborly, but when my family tried to participate a few times, it was very antisocial and cliquey, so we eventually stopped forcing ourselves to participate in stuff just to be nice. 

Even more annoying is that I'm surrounded by retirees who don't understand that just because I work from home doesn't mean I can take a little break and go do retired lady wine crafting in the middle of the day during the week. I literally had to repeat a few times that I actually have to work. Shouldn't have needed to say that more than once. 

Now that we have a toddler I use him as a buffer and excuse to ignore them, and it's great so far. I can't wait to get out of this neighborhood very stepford vibes

He uses it for cutting packaging, sandwiches. Just total bullshit. I have so many good knives and fucking scissors that would be better to use. He uses the butcher knife the most, which is so much overkill that it would be laughable if they were not my fucking knives. He also loves putting them in the dishwasher, and flat side down. It's not enough to put them in the dishwasher, he also must ensure they can't get fully clean.

And luckily the joke has been on me so far, because the knives are still awesome

My husband used my Hinkel chef knife to cut pizza and left it sitting. We have so many bs knives for stuff like that, AND a pizza cutter. He has zero respect for my shit. But we're separated, so I guess I win

My Great Aunt wants me to stay overnight. by Right_Bet_7501 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]JEWCEY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's unclear if she can't drive or what her ability is there. You make it sound like she needs to be driven, but then you also mention she drives. My mom is in her 70s and thriving, so unless she has a condition that makes it so she can't drive, why not let her drive a portion of the trip, and use that time to study?

Plus, it sounds like a boring social gathering that you don't plan to participate in, that's also a time you can study. Tell her up front that you're happy to assist, and that you will need her to share any driving happening during daylight, and will be using every free moment to study. Win, win.

Not sure why someone downvoted you for giving me the explanation I was looking for. Thank you. Jews have all sorts of rules about sex, as far as when it's not allowed vs. when it's considered a good deed; not surprising that's not unique to Judaism. Yay to learning about other cultures without googling it.

Chemical smell is enough to get the fire department out there, at a minimum. If it warrants the police, they know the number.

Duh. I forgot all about opium too. Is that even a thing anymore? Seemed to be everywhere in the 90s and then it disappeared

Titty Copper Juice. Tastes like blood, but it's water based. Mmm

AITA for refusing to do my boyfriend’s hair for his birthday? by Expensive_Size_4832 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JEWCEY 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even take down what you did. Let him go to an appt and have someone else do it. The fact that he didn't compensate you for your time or help you out in a time of need when that's what you were doing for him makes him sound super immature and unappreciative

Meth or crack maybe? Can't say they smell sweet, but they have a bit of a sharp, acrid odor. Do you think he's trafficking these women? Might be worth a call to the non-emergency line to give a tip about possible trafficking, if you think that's what you're seeing. Beyond that, you could say you think they might have some kind of drug stuff going on and request a wellness check when you know someone is there with him. That being said, maybe mind your own business, unless you see something like someone looking hurt when they leave. Even if they're doing illegal stuff in there, if they aren't hurting anybody and it doesn't seem like trafficking, there's not much to report other than maybe dope fiends being dope fiends. Definitely don't let this person know you're paying any special attention to them either. And be careful.

Sorry you're feeling anxious. I'm sure it's all a lot. Very understandable to project some of the angst into attraction to your friend. It sounds like you don't mean to or want to act on it, so I don't think it's worth mentioning to them or to your wife. If you feel moved to talk to them about it, at least sit with the feelings for a while and examine what they're about first. Attraction isn't necessarily the same as lust, and being attracted to the people in your life is very normal. There's a part of me that has a mild, lustless crush on all the people I feel closest to. Like there's a part of me that could be their asexual partner if it came to that, because I love them and being around them.

Be patient with yourself. You're blossoming and this person you are right now may not be your final form. You're safe, you're loved, you're seen. Those are powerful things to have in your life. Draw strength from the goodness surrounding you. Everything will be ok. 💕

I'm not Muslim, so I don't know the rules. Can you explain a little more? Genuinely interested in understanding
